Less than ten miles from Sandringham, this castle offers you a slice of royal luxury, if only for a while. It's impossible not to be impressed by the surrounding moat and imposing gatehouse – and that's before you get to the wood-panelled dining room, immense fireplaces, and elegant stained-glass windows. As you'd expect from so grand a residence, there are numerous spots to unwind and take in the countryside views, including four reception rooms and a snooker room – a glass of whisky and a game, anyone? The landscaped gardens are undoubtedly worth a wander – and with a barbecue and firepit, you can entertain outdoors, too. Eager to explore Norfolk? You're just fifteen minutes from King's Lynn.
